LEGENDARY GUARDIAN 293 Chapter 293

Creating this link was like finding a needle in a haystack. It consumed a lot of mana and concentration, leaving Derik drained and mentally weak. If it wasn't for Cyrus and Kaido's support he would have collapsed under pressure. Thanks to the constant supply of mana from the two masters, he had enough power to create the pa.s.sageway and directly gaining access to his domain.

Due to the monstrous amount of energy consumed, Derik, Cyrus, and Kaido could not crossover but this did not stop Derik from noticing that the death aura in his domain had increased threefold and its size as well. It was flouris.h.i.+ng and expanding as it consumed more souls of the dead, using it to refine itself. At first, Derik was ecstatic about the development but when he realized the domain consumed both the souls of the foes and friends he slightly felt guilty. He, later on, realized the souls weren't completely destroyed, just bound to his domain like the underworld. That explains why the necromancers could still summon them during the war and after the summoning contract is canceled, the souls return to his domain, just like demons of the underworld.

They soon realize they couldn't help without crossing over to the other side because this was a one-way journey. Should they choose to crossover, the pa.s.sageway will close behind them and Derik had no way of creating a pa.s.sageway leading to their current location. They were sincerely considering abandoning this journey and returning to the empire to deal with their problems, luckily Kalos detected their life force and instantly warped into the domain to meet them. After explaining their predicament, they could only gather their prepare their attacks and launch it through the pa.s.sageway and have Kalos warp it to their respective enemies, making it look like they were actually present. The poured their aura out and covered the battlefield to grant their subordinates the mental support they need to win the battle.

That was the least they could do for these people.

After Kalos explained why he and Aldora could not leave the sect and Derik realized they lost so many members due to his mistake, he was enraged and ashamed at the same time.

...........................…..

Present Day.......

Roar!

Boom!

Francis roared in defiance as he reached for the ma.s.sive aura construct with his bare hands, stopping the weapons descent with his brute strength. His eyes let out a green flash as numerous vines shot out of the ground and quickly sped towards the aura construct, binding the weapon.

"Too arrogant old man!" Fernandos' voice was void of any form of emotion as he swiped his weapon and the aura weapon moved as well, shattering its restraints in a sing move.

"You are a relic of the past, Francis… You should just disappear!" Fernanods' voice was filled with enough venom to kill ten men.

"Holy prayer: Seven steps to salvation!"

With a loud roar, Fernandos' weapon and the aura weapon was shrouded in a thick layer of golden aura.

"First step!" Fernandos' figure blurred, reappearing meters behind Francis.

His sudden outburst of speed stunned the injured nature mage and before he could react, his lower half had already been severed from the upper half.

"Don't get c.o.c.ky brat!!!" Fernandos eyes turned black and his pupils green. 

Black veins popped up around his eyes and all over his body as vines protruded from his body reaching for the lower half of his body and reattaching it in just an instant.

"I am nature… I am the strongest force in this world! A mere light paladin cannot kill me, even if I'm on my death bed!" Francis roared in a crazed manner.

Fernandos was not fazed by the sudden transformation. He could tell Francis aura was rising fast but it didn't bother him even one bit. Francis's condition was already critical after dealing with Cyrus attack, to temporarily boost his power means he's exchanging something for power, either way, he is indirectly killing himself for a short outburst of strength.

"Second step!" Fernandos spoke calmly once again.

He grabbed the hilt of his magic sword and pushed it down, stabbing the empty s.p.a.ce below him. In response, his aura weapon appeared above Francis and descended on him like a thousand-year-old mountain. It was like a mountain falling on a man of average height.

Roar!

Francis let out an inhuman cry as he reached for the skies and his fingers turned gray and stretched like the roots of a tree, increasing in size until they were huge enough to bind the ma.s.sive aura sword.

"Third step! Shatter!" Fernandos' cold voice snapped Francis out of his frenzy.

He noticed the young paladin was just a few meters away from him, wielding his magic weapon with both hands. In response, Francis's mouth yanked open abruptly and a green vine shot out at an insane speed, not giving Fernandos the chance to escape properly. Fernandos quickly drifted to the side but he was a tad too slow, letting the green vine penetrate his shoulder.

"Grrrr!" Fernandos fought the urge to cry out in pain and quickly used the sword to cut the vine, returning his attention to Francis's gray hands.

"This is the part where you fall!" Fernandos spat out those words disdainfully as he brandished his sword at the empty s.p.a.ce, creating neat golden lines with each swipe. His movements looked slow but it was too fast for Francis to counter. He could only watch the gray roots restraining the aura weapon get sliced to tiny pieces.

"Now… Fall!" Fernandos' breathing was slightly laborious and his eyes showed no emotions while he watched the ma.s.sive aura weapon, fall upon Francis like a mountain, smas.h.i.+ng him into the ground like a man's feet crus.h.i.+ng an ant!
